Genome-wide Identification of the Laccase Gene Family in White Jute (Corchorus capsularis): Potential Targets for Lignin Engineering in Bast Fiber

Jute (Corchorus spp.) is an important industrial bast fibre crop valued for its lignocellulosic fibres, yet the molecular basis of fibre lignification remains unexplored.

Jute (Corchorus spp.) is an important industrial bast fibre crop valued for its lignocellulosic fibres, yet the molecular basis of fibre lignification remains unexplored. Laccase (EC 1.10.3.2) is a key enzyme catalysing the final steps of lignin polymerisation. A genome-wide…
